  3. Re:Broken by design. on How To Stop Businesses Storing SSNs Indefinitely? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Having worked in an admissions department at a hospital, I can tell you that SNNs are rarely verified by admissions personnel. Equal parts laziness due to job dissatisfaction and lack of time due to overwhelming workload. We would key in whatever number the patient gave us. It would be quite easy to provide a fake number and the hospital would not be aware.

    That's like saying the Coca-Cola Company invented cocaine.

  5. Re:Easy to avoid on Company Awarded "The Patent For Podcasting" · · Score: 2, Interesting
    How about this:

    receiving a subscription request to the channel dedicated to the episodic media from the user

    RSS feeds do not manage subscriptions, they do not receive subscription requests. The act of "subscribing" is no more than the end user having a program that automatically rechecks an XML file that exists somewhere in cyberspace. The USER has to subscribe, the podcaster does not receive any sort of subscription request, they simply host the files. This patent seems like a closed system, where proprietary software is used to manage a subscription and it interfaces with a server that receives and verifies the subscription request. I don't see how traditional podcasting is covered by this at all.

    Dorito Lisa?

  9. Re:Yes. on Should You Get Paid While Your Computer Boots? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't think the Pimp's Union will stand for that.

  10. Email? on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 1

    Can't someone just register again under another email address?

  12. Very Good Reason on CNET UK Credits Claim That Apple Will Release Networked TVs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Apple dropped 'Computer' from its company name for a very good reason

    Yes, the reason is Apple Corps, Ltd agreed they wouldn't sue them if they did it.

  13. Thumbdrives on Bill To Add Accountability To Border Laptop Search · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Meanwhile, terrorists will just encrypt their data on thumbdrives and shove 'em up their ass.

  14. defied an investigation? on MediaSentry Defied Michigan Investigation For Months · · Score: 1

    I can see defying an order, or defying a subpoena, or defying a C&D, but it sounds to me like they thought that, until they were legally prevented from doing otherwise, they'd conduct business as usual.

  15. Western Digital? Oh good! on Western Digital Working On a 20,000 RPM Drive · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now it can lose my data twice as fast the last one I bought.

    Elections are funded by public dollars, too. Who did you vote for in the last election?

    But you can rent it for a few hundred bucks.

  18. Inadmissible? on Bavarian Police Can Legally Place Trojans On PCs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If the software they install can delete and alter files, how can any evidence they procure be admissible in a court of law?

  19. Dammit... on New Map IDs the Core of the Human Brain · · Score: 1

  21. I cried... on Tim Russert Dies At 58 · · Score: 1

    There are only three "famous" people whose deaths made me sad to the point of weeping. The first was Jim Henson, the second was Johnny Carson. Tim Russert is the third. He was truly irreplaceable, and no matter what you think of his politics, his love of life and family were to be admired and emulated. Tim, you will be missed.

  22. Re:Damn it! on Making Free Phone Calls With Google's GrandCentral · · Score: 1

    Or maybe 853-5937 for us who prefer Squeeze to Tommy Tutone?

  24. Re:Hm. So people are easily influenced by TV. on IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama · · Score: 1

    Um, people are talking about him because he's the presumptive Republican nominee. Why wouldn't people talk about him? We're stuck with talking about him until November!

  25. Eligible Voters? on IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama · · Score: 1

    I'd be curious if the IT professionals they polled were even eligible to vote in the upcoming election. In the company I work for, at least 60% of the IT department are not US citizens.
